The Wave
I met 6 C7s last night between Tecumseh Mi & Brooklyn Mi about 7: 15 I waved at them & they didnt wave back I was driving a 1964 silver Vette & maybee they didnt know I was driving a Vette or didnt know they were supposed to wave back

Really? I get the wave all the time from other c7's but not so much from earlier vette drivers. Kind of cool after coming from a common bmw 335i. The best is when their top is off and you get the two arms fully extended out of the car huge wave by the passenger and driver. Be careful out there... but to the couple in the red c7 in Chicago, that was awesome.

If this poll is an accurate indication, the C7 is the first Corvette for many owners. They may not know about it.

Hummm ... last week I waved from my C6 at a C5 with the targa top off as we passed each other doing about 15mph through the center of downtown. Not only was there no return wave, but also he looked back at me with startled dismay, like I had extended a dead jellyfish or something. Maybe I should get a haircut?

My C7 is my first Vette. Was giving a friend a ride a few weeks ago and I'm half paying attention to what is coming the opposite way and he suddenly he is giving me crap 'cause a C6 just passed us and waved and I didn't respond. Shame on me I have been schooled!

I wave if I see another Vette, and I'm not too busy actively driving. If they wave back, cool. If they don't wave back, I don't worry.
To tell you the truth, I'm not convinced Vette (or any other HP car) drivers are any more aware of their surroundings than the average JOE DRIVER.

On the way to work today, I had a lovely Woman driving a Red C6 pull up next to me in Traffic.
She rolled down the passenger window to tell me how much she liked my Car and that she thought the Personalized License Plate was pretty cool.
I usually give a wave to other Vette Drivers and sometimes I flash the lights if there is one sitting across from me at an Intersection waiting for the Light.
It's either a Club or a Cult. Haven't figured that out yet. LOL
